when VIII Our Eyes he Opened to This
Great National Calamity?
The year 1886 played sad havoc with many
prominent men OF our country.
Many OF them died without warning, pass
ing away apparently in the full flush OF life.
Others wore sick but = comparatively short
time We turn TO our files and are astonshed
70 find that most of them died OF apoplexy,
OF paralysis, OF nervous prostration, OF maiig-
nant blood-humor, of Brighrs disease, OF
heart disease, OF kidney disease, OF rheuma-
tism, or OF pneumonia
Ii ia singular that most of our prominent
men die of these disorders. Any journalist
who watches the telegraph reports, will be
astonished Mt the number OF prominent VIC
TINS Of these disorders.
Many statements have appeared IN our paper
with others TO the effect that the diseases that
carried of so many prominent men IN 1850,
are really one disease, taking different names
accor ling 10 the location OF the fatal effects.
When a valuable horse perishes, 1t becomes
the nine days talk OF the sporting world, and
yot thousands of ordinary horses are dying
every day, their aggregate loss Is enormous,
and yet their death creates no comment
50 it is with individuals. The cause OF
death of prominent men creates comment
especially when 1T can be shown that one I'M
suspected disease carries OF most OF them,
aud yet "vast numbers OF ordinary men and
women die before their time every year from
the same cause"
1t is said If the blood is kept free from uric
acid, that heart disease, paralysis, nervous
prostraton, pneumonia, rheumatism, and
many cases of consumption, would never be
| known. This uric acid, we are told, 10 the
| waste OF tho system, and 1t is the duty OF the
| kidneys to remove this waste.
We are told that IL tho kidneys are main
tanned in perfect health, the uric, kidney, acid
| is kept out OF the blood, and these sudden and
universal diseases caused by uric acid Will, IN
large measure, disappear.
But how shall this be done? 1t is folly to
treat effects. III there is any known way of
| getting at the cause, that way should be known
| 10 the public. We believe that Warmers safe
cure, of which 30 much has been written, and
| 30 much talked OF by the public generally, Is
| now recognized by impartial physicians and
| the public as tho one specific for such diseases.
Because public attention has been directed
| to this great remedy by means or advertising,
some persons have not believed in the remedy.
diately benefit the public in any other way,
and his valuable specific should not be con-
| demned because some nostrums have come
| before the public in the same way, any more
| than that all doctors should be condemned BE-
cause so many Of them are incompetent
1t is astonishing what good opinions you
hear on every side of that great remedy, and
public opinion thus based upon an actual ex-
perience has all the weight and Importance OF
| absolute truth.
At this time of the year the uric acid in the
blood invites pneumonia and rheumatism, aud
there is not man who does not dread these
monsters of disease; but he need have no fear
OF them, we are told, if he rid the blood Of the
uric acid cause.
These words are strong, and may sound like
an advertisement and be rejected as such by
unthinking people, but we believe they are tho
truth, and as such should be spoken by every
| truth loving newspaper.
